Landsberg am Lech is a town in southwest Bavaria, Germany, about 65 kilometers west of Munich and 35 kilometers south of Augsburg. It is the capital of the district of Landsberg am Lech. This 'Alter Friedhof' (Old Cemetery) is located outside the old part of the city, just to its north across the Lech River. It has an upper part and a lower part, the church in it is dedicated to the Holy Trinity.
The cemetery is also referred to as the Dreifaltigkeitsfriedhof.

Please note that the graves in Germany are not perpetual. After a certain period of repose (in Landsberg 10-20 years) the graves are being leveled and re-used. There is no toxic embalming being done in Germany, so the coffin and the corpse have decomposed naturally. If the family of the deceased decides to purchase another period the duration can be extended by another 10+ years. War Graves are considered memorials and are kept up by the owner of the cemetery. Those are kept forever. This cemetery has a communal (non-denominational) part and a part run by the Catholic church.
